Arcadia Mercury Vapour D3 Basking Lamp 160W

An all-in-one reptile bulb, this Arcadia D3 UV Basking Lamp – 2nd Generation gives off a fantastic, life-giving combination of heat, light and essential UVB for your reptile, allowing them to see, to thermo-regulate and to generate vitamin D3 to use the calcium in their diet, helping them to keep free of Metabolic Bone disease. This bulb is an updated version of their top selling bulb, with improvements!

Not only are these Arcadia D3 UV Basking Lamps capable of creating a warm and light environment for desert reptiles like bearded dragons, they also give a healthy dose of UV light, essential for the absorption of vitamin D3 into your reptile’s body, allowing them to make the most of the calcium in their diet to grow big and strong.

UV is an essential factor in reptile care, as is heat and light, so it makes sense to get it all in one bulb from a reliable manufacturer.

These are mercury vapour bulbs, and are safe when kept intact around your reptile – hand them vertically in your reptile’s habitat to allow the convections currents to circulate normally within the bulb, meaning you should get around 6000 hours of light, UV and heat out of each bulb, complete with a one year guarantee! As with all Mercury Vapour bulbs, these cannot be used with thermostats, and should only be used in large enclosures, or open top tables.
